I use a few tools to check broken links on my site. In recent weeks… I’m not certain when it started, they have thrown up a new problem.
Say I want to check the link behind the phrase hydrid on this page:
I wrote the link in the post as:
https://web.archive.org/web/20210302163848/https://billbennett.co.nz/hybrid-sales-still-need-kickstart/
But something in Ghost is adding a query string so the URL looks like this:
https://web.archive.org/web/20210302163848/https://billbennett.co.nz/hybrid-sales-still-need-kickstart/?ref=bill-bennett
This may have been something I did. I don’t remember. Or it could be hard coded. Either way, it makes broken link checking harder than it needs to be.
How can I stop this?
